Probiotics for Kidney Disease

Probiotics for Kidney Disease

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a growing health problem. CKD increases the risk of heart disease and diabetes. Unbalanced gut microbiota can contribute to CKD, and there is evidence that supplementing probiotics can help.

This new systematic review and meta-analysis of 21 controlled studies found that probiotics improve kidney function and inflammation as demonstrated by significantly improved levels of blood urea nitrogen and C-reactive protein.
